I guess I can see why she would be viewed as, like, “the ideal women” by some white supremacists. It’s also enjoyable to imagine some redneck guy turning to his buddy in a darkly lit bar and saying “Bro! They’re playing blank space! This is my favorite T-Swift song!”

Huh! I completely understand your comment, and I want to thank you for making me consider the possibility that there are cis white men out there who might be obsessed with Taylor Swift? I’ve never met a straight man who loves Taylor before, but I’m sure you’re right—they must exist? What a fun Venn diagram that could…

Celebs “vacationing in Hawaii” photos are the most obviously staged paparazzi photo moments there are and it’s hilarious. Like they were just wandering around the island and someone showed up with a high res camera and started taking pics outta nowhere?

I mean... I’m mostly a fan of Biden, but this IS essentially what happened.  Acknowledged by both Hill and Biden.

It’s either self loathing or a real self-aggrandizement kind of thinking that you’re better than “those other blacks”.

Unfortunately, people are this stupid, they simply don’t care, or openly idolize these same dictators.

Jesus fucking christ. Do you need this person to come in here as a queer trans, quadruple amputee POC who was raised by a white family after being adopted in order to check all your boxes and have a fucking opinion about practicing medicine?

My thought exactly. Midwives are there to assist with birthing, NOT to provide longterm medical advice or care. A noble profession for sure, but definitely not a pediatrician.

The fact that they’ve had the same pediatrician for 10 years was the bit that sounded odd to me, too.  That presumably means they already have other children and this doctor saw no reason to call CPS about them, so that seems to imply that something was different in this case...

If I have the “urge” to murder someone and fuck their lifeless body, does that put me in the same class as being a gay man?

A better headline for this story would have been “Kylie’s thoughts on Simu Liu, explained”. But she didn’t really manage to do that, either. Is Jez hiring? I think I’m ready to begin my career in navel gazing up my own asshole.

Eh, if my landlord gave me over 2 months notice, I’d think that was generous. All of the parties involved also have the means to travel and visit one another with relative ease. It’s not like he’s kicking out his grandchildren knowing that their mom won’t be able to afford an Amtrak ticket home for the holidays.

It’s either that, or he’s just an idiot (duh) who thinks that certain nouns are supposed to be in quotes.

I have an unrelated question, but when did Aaron Rupar become the voice of the nation? Every political story I read seems to include his tweets about current events but I can’t seem to find anything about him other than that he’s a self-employed journalist?

“If what Spanish outlets are reporting is true, the whole Piqué family sounds like a real piece of work.”

I’ve never seen an episode of this show, nor barely read about it, but even I somehow knew it involved cannibalism. So is it really a spoiler?

This was 100% my first thought when this story first broke, too.

I briefly worked at a starbucks when I moved to a new city back in 2014. Hands down the most brutal and demoralizing job of my life. On your first day you’re given a copy of Howard’s book (like... okay, thanks?). One of my coworkers tried to sell his to the local used book store because he needed some extra cash and…

Can you imagine the uproar if someone were to ask Cruz, point blank, something along the lines of “So your father only became an American citizen after you became the Solicitor General of Texas?

It’ll be fun to see how they handle nativity plays at all boy/all girl religious schools! Will they have to rewrite the bible? Three wise-women? Joseph and Mary were a queer couple?
